Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Enhance and Protect your Raspberry Pi 4 with Akasa Gem Pro, a Superior Passive Cooling Case in Silver by Mack Douglas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Micro HDMI socket inserted too far

Phenomenal cooling performance; The temperature never goes above 40 F. My only complaint is that my micro HDMI cable can't fit all the way through the hole provided in the connector due to the thickness of the metal causing the connector to be over-inserted becomes. I tried scraping 1mm of the insulation around the connector but ended up peeling the skin off the ground layer which caused the video to freeze for a few seconds each time the cable was moved or moved. I ended up having success by using a micro HDMI to HDMI adapter and then connecting an HDMI to HDMI cable to it. Your hands as it appears as if the metal of the cable's mass is in contact with the case, causing the video/audio to be interrupted for a few seconds if touched: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product /B008OWFK8S /ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie =UTF8&psc=1But even this cable tends to stick out pretty far and lose contact. What obviously needs to be done when making the case is to align the side of the case with the micro HDMI port by about a millimeter or maybe half a millimeter. Also be careful; The corners of the case are very sharp and may scratch the table or screen.
